This was the first stop in my planned excursion of Barcelona, Spain. The view overlooking the city from the entrance level of the museum is breathtaking. The museum is housed in a very large facility of very impressive architecture. The front facade cascades down a very wide and long set of stairs to the ground/street level below. More time was needed to fully appreciate this museum, which is also situated adjacent to the campus where the 1992 Olympic Summer Games was held in Barcelona. There are beautiful walkways and green space common areas surrounding the museum.

Building is absolutely spectacular and breathtaking. The museum is very well organized, I found the audio guided tour was more then sufficient to learn about each piece. I did catch glances at organized tour groups with a actual guides but found it a bit rushed. There were times I just wanted to look at specific pieces and observe without being rushed (self-guided audio tour with tablet and headphones in English available) though you could even just do the tour without a guide. My wife and I found the the art spectacular. It is Highly recommended you bring plenty of water as the journey to the museum left us dehydrated (mid-August). They do have a nice little cafe in the museum and a stall outside but options were limited to small pizzas and snacks type food for the most part. Recommend you get a full meal in before arrival or plan your lunch around the trip. Time spent here will depend on your fascination of art. We spent 3 hours here because we found some pieces so interesting but you could do the tour in under 2 hours if you wish.

What a fantastic gallery set in the 1929 Exhibition Buildings.... The walk up to it is breathtaking up a wide avenue with fabulous fountains and waterfalls... And if you are lucky enough (!?) to be a senior bring your passport for free entry

It's a must in Barcelona. The building is amazing and you can enjoy the garden as well. This museum has a great collection of romanic art from Catalunya. They offer artistic activities on weekends just look the website.

Beautiful building. I visited the modern section with art from 1880s onwards. The collection is impressive and interesting with not only paintings and sculptures but also has furniture by Gaudi and a section on Franco and civil unrest. Free Saturday after 3pm. Restaurant on top floor and cafes on ground floor inside and outside, but are expensive with 4 euros for a can of coke and 6 euros for a beer. Coffee was 2 euros 20c. The view from the outside of the museum is amazing.
